The sound of the campfire crackled, and from time to time there were bursts of rude laughter from the Pictish mercenaries, and the two exorcists seemed to be talking more harmoniously with the soldiers under the Leo Knight, only Hugo and their campfire were deserted, and they were silent.

The crow held his long wooden staff, sat far away by the campfire, and looked at the roll of parchment in his hand by the light of the fire, Hugo glanced at it casually, feeling that it should be the roll given to him by John Bacon, and at this time he was still cautiously watching, obviously he attached great importance to the things recorded on the parchment, and from time to time he stared at John gloomily, as if he wanted to pry his head open.

"The master doesn't have to look at me like that, as long as he banishes the evil spirits, the rest of the parchment will definitely be handed over to the crow's Excellency" John Bacon used a long wooden stick to pull the campfire casually, while talking to the crow in a calm voice, he showed calm and calm, so that people could not find fault with it, "The master also knows that I am a squib and cannot use the power of wizards, and this inheritance of the Bacon family is of no use in my hands, do you say?"

At this time, the crow showed deep eyes from the shadows, stared at John without blinking, and asked hoarsely: "Then you can also leave this witchcraft inheritance of the explorer Master Bacon to the descendants of the family, why did you give it to outsiders so easily?"

The air around him seemed to be a little colder, and Hugo sat on one side of the campfire as if he had nothing to do with him, his eyes staring directly at the flickering firelight, in fact, his ears had already been propped up, and he was also very curious about this matter in his heart.

John Bacon showed a pained expression, he sighed softly, took the stick out of the campfire, looked at the flames burning at the top of the stick, and said in a sad voice: "Your Excellency Crow, don't you know that by asking? As we all know, the probability of a wizard's descendants being wizards is also the largest, if one side is a wizard and the other is a Muggle, the probability of their descendants appearing wizards is also not low, the probability that the parents are Muggles and the children are wizards is much smaller, but the population base of ordinary people is too large, resulting in mudblood always popping up non-stop.

However, the probability of giving birth to a wizard among ordinary people is not the lowest among all categories, and the category with the lowest probability of giving birth to a wizard is actually a squib! The probability of a direct descendant of a squib reappearing as a wizard is currently zero! I have never heard of a squib's son or daughter having a wizard again, even if this squib comes from a famous wizard family, his first direct descendant will not be able to become a wizard, even if it continues to multiply, it will take many generations before there is a small possibility of giving birth to a wizard, which means that my bloodline descendants may never be able to appear a wizard, so what do I need this inheritance for?"

Hugo remembered that due to the dominant position of magic genes, the probability of inheriting it to the descendants of the bloodline is still very large, so the probability that a wizard's offspring is a squib is actually very low, and the squib is relatively rare, but what Hugo didn't expect is that in addition to the fact that the squib can't use magic, the probability of a wizard appearing in his first generation of bloodline is actually zero!

Hugo lowered his head and peeked at the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and found that the swan wings there were still black, which showed that John Bacon was not lying! At least literally, he was not lying, but it was possible that some key information was hidden, so that he did not lie, but what he said was not entirely true!

The crow sat cross-legged in front of the campfire, staring at John's eyes motionlessly, and it took a long time to withdraw his gaze with a strong sense of scrutiny, and he laughed dryly, and said: "It's better to be so, don't think that that house-elf can protect you for the rest of your life, and the consequences of deceiving a wizard a squib can't afford it!"

John nodded a little distractedly, and said in a trance: "Yes, Lord Raven, I'm just a squib, I also want to live the rest of my life peacefully, with the money from the sale of the castle, I may leave here, go to Edinburgh's upper town to buy a small house, away from the wizard to live an ordinary life, and continue the bloodline, this may be a more suitable way out for me, who knows if this is better?"

John continued to stir up the bonfire and make it crackle, while the house-elf beside him put the two of them on the fire and roasted them, and the brown bread was very difficult to swallow if it was not heated and soaked.

Hugo subconsciously frowned when he heard John's words, and there seemed to be something different in those words, but if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, it's just that John's expression makes Hugo feel weird, and that's it.

Early the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Hugo was woken up by the Brown Knight, and the group hurriedly packed their bags and had a little breakfast, just when Hugo was about to get into the carriage, a mercenary under Franklin appeared next to the carriage, saying that the fat merchant wanted to talk to Hugo privately, Hugo was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it and walked towards the fat merchant's carriage with the Brown knight without refusing.

Next to Franklin's carriage, in addition to the fat merchant, there was also a puzzled Leo Knight, who was obviously called here by Franklin, and the three buyers gathered together this time, which seemed to be related to this sale.

"Knight Leo, and this Lord Trelawney, according to John Bacon, will arrive at the castle this morning, do you know what you two think about this sale?" Franklin looked at the two with a smile, like an old fox.

Seeing the merchant's face, Knight Leo subconsciously frowned, and said impatiently: "What do you mean?

Franklin's cheeks trembled, and he coughed dryly twice and continued: "I heard that this castle is not simple, and we as buyers don't need to take risks, why don't we just wait outside the castle and wait until the evil spirits inside are successfully expelled before entering?"

Hugo thought the same thing, it was not a good idea to enter the castle rashly! The Leo knight seemed to be more than just a reckless man who could only use his hands, he thought about it and agreed to Franklin's proposal, and the three buyers agreed to wait outside the castle until the exorcism was successful before entering.

By this time the others had already begun to get into the carriage, and Hugo and the others did not say anything more, and boarded the carriage one after another, and began the last leg of the journey to this destination.
